Education system to be economy oriented - Gota

Thousands of young people have been misguided due to flaws and irregularities in the current education system, Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) Presidential Candidate Gotabaya Rajapaksa told an election campaign rally in Gampola yesterday. Rajapaksa pledged that he would change the education system as soon as he was elected to power so that it would directly contribute to the economy.

“Some degree courses in our country are not productive to our economy. Therefore, we will take short term and long term measures to introduce degree courses that strengthen our economy,” he said.

Opposition Leader Mahinda Rajapaksa and former Prime Minister D.M.Jayaratne also addressed the rally.
